tal is brought into circulation, it seems to be forgotten that another proportion of real capital, already productively ern; plotted, must be with drawn in the shape of taxes, to pay the interests of 'that, which has been borrowed ; .and it is a question, which, does not admit of doubt with us, whether the price paid for it in the first instance, and the sub sequent expences attending it, prove not a greater. depression to the productive labour of the country ) in consequence of those increased taxes ,which must be levied, than the corresponding increase which is:.antieipated from ; the operation of the loan. It is not! also•taken into calculation, that its proceeds cannot all be. productively. employed ) but that a very large amount will go immediately itita.of the country, And produce none of the beneficial °`- effectsitvbielkare sanguinely expected by the friends of this. rneasttsee , . Ort!• the contrary, the whole of the contributiona faiscato pay the principal and interest, must come either from our-profits or capital ; and difficult indeed will it be to prove that the .probable advantages are such, as will compensate the certain disadvantages which a foreign loan al ways entails on, the:coluitrti which is compelled to borrow. If, as has been corttended, thee . Republic will, in the 'course of a few years, be able .to meet • the exigencies of the State, why not wait patiently the developement of the resources we already possess, rather than at once encumber it with a weight of debt which may render for ever impracticable, what at preient is attended only with difficulty ? If the case be one of extreme urgency, which we really are not aware of, better at once increase the amount of taxes ; and if the state of the country be such as to preclude the adoption of such a step, it only adds additional strength to our opinion of the im polick of raising a loan, and thus still adding to the permanent burthens di nation, whose resources are inadequate even to a mere temporary exigency. With regard to tile justice of paying our cretlitors, - .we should be the last to deny such a proposition ; but we think that other plans might be adopted much more advantageous to the interests of the country, than that of exchanging a debt, the greater part of which bears no inte rest, for one which does, and which is accompanied with the circumstances which we have just enumerated. We acknow. ledge their claims; and hope that some means will be taken to satisfy them, but 47 efirdnot quixotic enough , taprefer what, after all, is but an tippeardnee Of generosity, to that which is in rigorous justice due to the rest of our fellow-citizens. But after having thus attempted to shew the real injury it would inflict upon the country, another point of perhaps greater importance remains to be considered, the effect it would have on our credit in Eu- Me- What opinion can 'be formed of our national faith, if after having twice raised money under a solemn promise of repayment, we again go into the market a third time for the same purpose, and with the same promises, before a single dollar has been sent from hence to pay the interest of what we already owe, and before a single statement hasbeen presented of our national revenueand expenditure ! Out funds at present are lower than those of any of the new AmeriCan States which have been recognised by Eng. land, and the mortal blow which the sanction of a measure like the one now' before us,vrould give to our already declining cre dit, is easily to be . conceived. To expect that men will be found,' who will continue to lend as long as we feel dis. Paled to' borrow, can only enter the head .of a madman ; while the folly of talking of our immense national resources, at the same : time that we are living at the 'expence of foreigners, is too glaring to allow the assertion any longer to have its effect. The circumstance, also, of raising a loan to Ply a debt, the amount of which is not known, Seems so like an anxiety to obtain money under whatever pretence, and so unlike any intention to repay it, when we reflect on the little that, has been;iione towards refunding What we have before borrowed ) that we are Confident the very slightest medi tation on the consequences it cannot fail to have on our charac ter for honour and gniid faith, will be sufficient to insure the Telection of what, on xithet grounds, we have no doubt will be greatly detrimental to . our prosperity and welfare."

It will be rememberedohat on a former occa• sion, when there was a funding of Exchequer Bills, the eagerness to get into so good a thing, as it vas thought by the money changers, brought together a croud more anxious and unruly,than is usually seen even at the door of the one shilling gallery in the evening of a Lord Mayor's day'. To prevent a recurrence of this scandal, so degrading to tilt monied Character, a personal interview wasso licited with the CriANCELLOR of the EXCUI:QUER by a Deputation from the Stock, Exchange—the result of which has been the following commu- nication " In consequence of the serious apprehension expressed by many respectable bankers of the effects of the attempts which may be made on Monday next to secure a subscription of Ex chequer-bills at the Bank of England, it has been determined by Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that in lieu of the mode heretofore adopted for receiving the sub scriptions, the parties intending to subscribe should deliver sealed letters at the Bank of England on Monday, from nine o'clock in the morning until one o'clock, p. m., specifying the sums for which they intend to, sbbscribe, accompanied by sealed parcels, containing in Exchequer-bills or ,money a de posit of 10 per cent. on such subscription : and that at one o'clock, or as soon after as possible, on Monday, the 'Bank should declare the total amount proposed to be- subscribed for, allotting to each party, in case the whole of the subscrip tions should not exceed tho amount of eight the whole sum which he may have Offered to subscribe; and in case the whole amount offered to be subscribed should exceed eight millions, then such proportion only of the sumtendered him as the sum of eight millions may bear to the whole sum offered to be subscribed, retaining in such case the deposit of 10 per cent. only upon such amount. In the event of the whole sum not bring subscribed on Monday the 17th, then the same.Courso to be pursued on Tuesday the 10th, and also on Wednesday the 19th, if necessary, with respect to the sum remaining to be subscribed to complete the sum of eight millions.

Some further information is given on the subject to4lay. But further explanation is still deemed necessary ; and if those to Whom it should be imparted be,of the same character as the persons who have Exchequer. bills for funding, the communicant will have but an untoward auditory.—( Times.)

Letters from Si. Petersburgh were received yesterday, dated the 28th ult. They contain nothing remarkableolor do the merchants of that capital appear to be at all aware of that disturbed state of the 'relations with Turkey which has been the subject of so much discussion here.

The individual who has lost his life is Mr. Coortn, a brush-maker, and one of the most respectable inhabitants of High-street. It appears that, unfortunately for Mr. Cooper, he had received into his house a female, named Bicknell, who had been on trims of very strict intimacy with a man named Pollard, who is a journeyman butcher. Pollard is a matt of very depraved habits, and it is said that Mrs. B. sought protec tion in Mr. Cooper's house from Pollard's violence . Cooper, in fact, was her relation. Pollard, sup posing that Cooper exercised a controul over her, 40 by coercion prevented her from Visiting him, declared to several persons in the neighbourhood that he would seek satisfaction for his supposed injuries, and that nothing but blood, and the death of one individual, should satisfy him. Yes terday afternoon he was particularly violent in this respect—carried about with him a large knife, Is hich is used by slaughtermen in the pro cess of dressing beasts—flourished it about in the various public-houses where he was drinking in the course of the day, and swore in the most horrid manner, that a person from whom he had received a serious injury should that night suffer death. Being half intoxicated, his threats were bat little heeded by his compa nions, who did not for a moment suppose that he intended carrying his meditated design into execution. About half past seven o'clock, Pollard went to Mr. Cooper's house. lie was about entering the shop, when he was met by Cooper, who opposed his entrance, and told him he should not enter the shop. The villain imme diately drew his knife, and plunged it into Cooper's heart. The unfortunate man fell upon his face outside his shop door, and the wretch ' again stabbed him in two other places. He then sprung over the body, and meeting with Mrs. Cooper, who was hastening to her husband's assist ance, he stabbed her in the neck and in the side, and inflicted two dreadful cuts on the arm. Mr. Cooper's four children, who were in the shop, 'alarmed at the dreadful sight they beheld, screamed out for assistance, and Pollard at that moment flew at them in the most savage manner ; but he was prevented from committing ,any !elite upon them by the interference of Mrs. who then received three stabs in her' ' right shoulder. As may reasonably be supposed, the dreadful spectacle that poor Cooper exhibited at the door, attracted the attention of several per sons to the spot, but before any one could enter the shop, Pollard had wounded his victims in the manneralready stated. It happened that at this moment a party of the watchmen had come up from the watchhouse, and were going to their respective stations, when, on passing the opposite side of the way, they saw Pollard standing in the door-way, flourishing his knife over his victim. The' watchmen endeavoured to enter the sliop, but Pollard used the most horrid 'oaths, flourished the knife about in a most ter rific manner, and swore that whoever dared to oppose him should share the same fate as the ins dividual they raw before them. Several officers soon arrived from the Police.office, and finding that it would be the sacrifice of any man's life who endeavoured to wrest the knife from Pollard's han('s, although he was then much exhausted from the loss of blood, having stabbed himself in the bodyowo men went round to the hack part of the house, and coming upon him unexpectedly, they wrenched the knife from his hand, but it re quired but little exertion to secure him. It would seem,' that after he had murdered Mr. Cooper, and stabbed the two females, he plunged the knife into his belly, and when he was secured his bowels were protruding through the wound: The wretched scene which the shop at that moment presented, is beyond description. Mr. Cooper was taken to the shop of Mr. Craw. ford, a surgeon, in High-street, hut all hu man aid was of no avail ; the blow had been too well directed, and life was wholly extinct. The children were honied from the place, and con veyed to a neighbour's house. A Medical Gen tleman immediately attended Mrs. cooper,whose wounds do not appear to be dangerous, and she Was put to bed in her own house. Mrs. Bicknell was able to walk to the surgeOn's house, where her wounds were dressed. Pollard was taken, in the custody of the officws and watch men, to the Police-office. lie was placed be fore Mr. Rawlinson, the Magistrate, but lie was then in that reduced state, that lie could not answer a single question, and Mr. Itawlin son directed him to be immediately conveyed to the Infirmary. There lie was attended by Mr. Goodger, the house surgeon, and his wounds having been dressed, he recovered sutiviently to answer a few questions which were put to him; and he then declared, that' so much had drink prevailed over him, that he was unconscious of having committed the dreadful offence with which he was charged. Mr. Goodger afterwards waited upon Mr. Rawlinson, and expressed his opinion that Pollard would not live until the morning. MN•Cooper was about forty years of age. His body has been taken back to his house, where it now remains to await the decision of the Coro ner's Inquest.---(Morning Chronick.) [FU gni ER PA lITI CU GARS.] The wretched man Pollard was taken from the Mary-la-Bonne Office to the Infirmary, where he was properly attended during the night, cold lo tions being kept constantly to his wounds : he was visited by Mr. 11.Awrxgoor4, who asked him' some questions, with the view of eliciting his mo- 1 Lives more decidedly for the perpetration of so dreadful an act ; but he appeared quite sullen,or indeed, perhaps, was in a state of stupor. 1h spoke to the nurse once, saying faintly, " It is no use wetting me (alluding to the application of the lotions), I have done it." About three o'clock he expired with 'a wild exclamation. The unfortunate man, C oo p er, was removed to an up-stairs room of his house. His wife is in a dreadful state, but her wounds in the arm are by Bicknell is no , means dangerous. The Woman doing well in the Infirmary. During this fore• noon the street has been thronged with people. The occurrence has excited a great sensation of horror in the neighbourhood. Pollard had coha bited with the female Bicknell for some time, but she being obliged to seuk shelter in Cooper's house , from his violence, the wretched man long brooded over some mea sure of vengence, and thus fatally destroyed the father of a young family, whose prospects are by the act almost blasted. The wretched man him self displays an awful instance of the result or ungovernable passion. An inquest will be held, on the bodies this evening before Mr. STI KLINa, the Coroner. „ h:+ SHIPPING INT EI,LIGENCE. n 1:1 [FROM LLOYD'S.] DEAL, APRIL 14.—Wind S.W.—Arrived, and sailed for the River, the Britannia, from Jamaica; and tiso,;.
